6.1 Phone Calls
An outgoing/incoming call establishing procedure is described for a connected analog phone for illustration. The procedure is the same for the 2N® EasyGate IP – PBX connection, just make sure that the calls are routed properly to the network to a line with 2N® EasyGate IP.
Outgoing Call
- Put the phone off-hook, you can hear the dial tone and the Line LED starts flashing.
- Dial the user number. The interdigit delay may not be longer than 5 s (or as programmed) during dialing. The number is evaluated as complete and transmitted to the GSM network after this timeout.
- A short delay follows the last-dialed digit for 2N® EasyGate IP to await further dialing, if any, which is then followed by the dialing end signal and connection setup.
- If the called user is available, you will hear the ringing tone. If the called user is engaged, you will hear the busy tone or any of the GSM provider's messages.
- When the called user answers the phone, a call is established. The Line LED is statically on during the call.
- Hang up to end the call. The Line LED goes off. If the called user is the first to hang up, you will hear the busy tone and hang up.
Incoming Call
- Ringing signals an incoming call. The Line LED flashes during ringing.
- Put the phone off-hook to connect the call. The Line LED is statically on during the call.
- Hang up to end the call. The Line LED goes off. If the called user is the first to hang up, you will hear the busy tone and hang up.
Automatic Call (Babycall)
If the Babycall function is enabled, a pre-programmed period of time is counted down after off-hook. Unless you start dialing by the end of this timeout, a call to the predefined phone number is set up automatically – from this moment on, 2N® EasyGate IP behaves as if dialing was terminated in a standard outgoing call. Any dialing during the Babycall timeout countdown cancels this function and a standard outgoing call is made.
